Research Spotlight
Over the past week, many of our School of Optometry and Vision Science (SOVS) staff and students gathered with fellow contact lens researchers and clinicians from around the world at Stevenson, WA, USA for the 17th International Society for Contact Lens Research (ISCLR) Conference.
It was a great opportunity to explore and discover the multi-faceted nature of the dynamic contact lens community. It was a wonderful place to find a conclave of distinguished scientists, outstanding ophthalmologists and optometrists, and innovative industry professionals, all united in the vigorous pursuit of excellence in the field of contact lens research and related sciences.
School of Optometry and Vision Science, UNSW sent a large contingent of 11 academics, scientists and PhD students to this bi-annual conference, where they had several paper/poster presentations. Many of the SOVS staff were involved in moderating contact lens sessions.
